Tag: Lazy Recipe

I’ve made ribs in the slow-cooker in the past, but I wasn’t a big fan of it. Too many fat bits floating around. They were on sale at the supermarket, I decide to try them in the oven. I watched some videos and read some recipes and then came up with this version.

Ingredients:

Pork Ribs

Teriyaki marinade that I had in the fridge

Minced Garlic

Minced onion flakes

Brown Sugar

Directions:

Step 1: Mix random* amounts of all the marinade ingredients until sugar is dissolved.Step 2: Pour marinade into zip-loc bags along with the ribs.Step 3: Put the zip-loc bags in a fridge. Accidentally leave them in over night. or Two.Step 4: Place the ribs on a rack over a foil-lined baking sheet. Put in the oven at 300F for 2-2.5 hours, flipping them over once (after precisely 1.25 hours).Step 5: While the ribs are in the oven, take the left over marinade, add some extra* ingredients if you don’t have enough liquid and heat it up in a pot.Step 6: Take the ribs out, coat with marinade and broil for 5 minutes. Flip it over and repeat.Step 7: Curse about the giant mess despite precautions of Step 4.Step 8: Enjoy delicious ribs with sushi rice and random* veggies. For an extra challenge, try eating them with chopsticks.

* I take no responsibility if your definition of random doesn’t match mine.

This is the third time I’ve made Jerk Chicken in the slow cooker (using this recipe). While it is clearly a really simple recipe, by laziness standards, it has too many ingredients and steps. So, I have lazy-fied this recipe as follows:

You are supposed to marinate this, and then cook it and then chop it up and then cook it again. Clearly that wasn’t going to happen. So I cut up the raw chicken marinated over night and cooked it up in a pot.

For the rice:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 1/2 cups long-grain or Basmati rice

2 1/2 cups chicken broth

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet, then add the turmeric and cumin for 1 min. Fry the rice in this mixture for 4 mins. Add chicken stock and cook it till the stock is absorbed. I used Trader Joe’s stock. It is quite delicious.

For the sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons white vinegar too lazy to look for the bottle

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Mix all this together for yummy sauce.

I didn’t have lettuce or pita bread. So just served with some fresh veggies.
